The Detroit Lions will attempt to rebound from Week 11's Sunday Night Football disaster with two key games in a span of four days. First up, the New York Giants, who will be without their star rookie quarterback Jaxson Dart.
Dart missed last week's Giants loss to the Green Bay Packers after leaving the previous week's game against the Chicago Bears with a concussion. At the time of his injury, the Giants led the Bears before the Russell Wilson-led offense stagnated, allowing the Bears to complete their comeback victory.
For Dart, this was the second notable injury following an ankle injury that had hampered him weeks earlier, raising concerns about the recklessness of both him and his then-head coach, Brian Daboll, who was fired after the loss against the Bears.
